you should let them try it. my non tech family members were impressed with it's purdy and wanted it. they actually gasped and said, "what is that. i want that". you'd be surprised what a little eye candy will do.
I wouldn't be surprised at the effects of eye candy, because it draws my attention too. I keep trying GNOME 3 and KDE because they genuinely do look much prettier than most other Linux desktops.
